- Story Text: A Russian-guided bomb attack on Kharkiv on Monday (October 28) shattered much of the Derzhprom building, one of the most celebrated landmarks in Ukraine's second city, dating from the 1920s.
Six people were injured in the 9 p.m. (1900 GMT) strike, adding to 13 wounded in an earlier overnight bomb attack on the city.
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy denounced the strike on Kharkiv's Derzhprom (State Industry) building, one of the most striking examples of Soviet-era constructivism architecture and dubbed the Soviet Union's first skyscraper.
The Derzhprom building, placed on the "tentative" list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, was completed in 1928 when Kharkiv was the capital of Soviet Ukraine.
